鈥淎DLM applauds the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas for issuing a decision to vacate the Food and Drug Administration鈥檚 (FDA鈥檚) final rule to regulate laboratory developed tests as medical devices. The court found that the FDA rule would have negatively impacted testing on which patients and clinicians depend, and that the rule also went against Congress鈥� intent, which is for laboratory services to be regulated under the current framework administered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

Adult antibody thresholds are currently used to determine whether immunocompromised children should get a measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) booster shot. However, a new study shows that these thresholds fail to identify a significant percentage of children who need to be revaccinated. These findings, published today in the Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine鈥檚 (formerly AACC鈥檚) Clinical Chemistry journal, could help to ensure that immunocompromised children are protected from these viruses 鈥� which is especially important now that measles in particular could be experiencing a revival.
